Apple Now Blocking ‘Overtly Sexual’ Apps from App Store

[First they came for the creepy almost-porn apps, and I said nothing because I wasn’t into creepy almost-porn apps][link]. I’m sure this makes sense to businessmen, but I am really fucking uncomfortable with Apple being in charge of what is considered “overtly sexual.”

This is purely “[I know it when I see it][know]” fascism. There is no defense for it that doesn’t start and end with “they can do what they want so shut up.”

Apple Screws The Pooch Again, Rejects E-book Reader “Eucalyptus”

[It is hard to believe that they’re still getting away with this][link]. Their reason? You can download naughty books on it, like the Kama Sutra. Nobody tell Apple that you can view the same book in Safari for free on Project Gutenberg, or show them the weird porn you can find on Google, because they’ll have to reject their own browser.

Assholes.
